L'Atelier 116 sur Strasbourg

26/06/2026: Fantastic! I love it! Delicious bagels, very friendly staff!

18/06/2026: Second visit to Bagelstein this Saturday, July 26th, and still that strange feeling… like I'd landed in a 90s American sitcom, somewhere between Central Perk and a vintage New York deli. The decor is a gem of nostalgia: walls covered in quirky photos, humorous signs, newspaper clippings, and retro-style air conditioning that makes you feel like it's about to crack a joke or offer you an old-fashioned coffee. It's like traveling back in time without leaving Strasbourg. The staff is smiling and welcoming. In short, not robots, which is refreshing. There were three of us, and we ordered three meal deals with drinks and sides. The bagels offer a wide selection of breads (whole wheat, plain, onion & sweet pepper, sesame toast… and probably others I missed while drooling over the counter). You can create your own bagel like an inspired artist… or choose a pre-made recipe like a tired tourist. On the dessert and drink front, there's cheesecake, muffins, cakes, cookies… plenty to choose from, and a good selection of drinks too (if you're looking for something other than depressing plain water). They say it's all homemade, and it certainly tastes good, so we're inclined to believe them. Special mention goes to the overall atmosphere, which is really well done and makes you want to linger a bit (and take pictures of everything). I haven't tried their mac & cheese yet, but it's on my top to-do list, right after "pay my taxes" and "become a better person." In short, a great place to eat quickly, well, and with a smile… all while getting a little taste of America (without the guns or the dollar bills).
